"Alright, I'm heading out!" Killua calls back to the church. It's been three and a half weeks, and he was about to start his journey to the capital. The destination was far, and that's why Asta and Uni Bitch had to leave a little bit earlier. However, Killua was far faster than them.

It would take him a day at tops, and even though Uni Bitch had left two weeks before Killua, he would still end up making it there before them. He would have left later, but Killua had had enough of Gramps's worrying. Okay, let's go. Godspeed!

Killua took off, leaving Hage village and the church behind. The world flashed by in a blinding array of shapes and colors, and Killua left it all behind, racing into the rising sun. He didn't stop, and ran all day. He realized now that leaving a bit early was a good idea, because using Godspeed all day would drain his power. Having a bit of extra time to recover his energy would probably be for the best.

The only downside was all the time he had to himself. A lot of time to... Think. And thinking was something Killua was trying to avoid, Because whenever he thought, It was about Gon. I really miss him... We were supposed to travel together, it had been so long since we last saw each other. This was all nice, until a thought crossed Killua's mind, one that he hadn't thought of before. Wait! What if that bitch Alya went after Gon! Killua sped up. He had to get an appointment with the Wizard King, he couldn't wait any longer, Alya might have already gotten to Gon! The very thought sent shivers down Killua's spine.

/Time skip till Killua arrives at the capital brought to you because... KrUpIckA Is NoW DrOwNiNg In An InDeScRiBaBlE EmPtInEsS/

Killua arrives at the capital exhausted. He rents out an inn for the night, and falls asleep right away. The next day, Killlua heads out to get a lay of the land. He walks into the bustling streets, with small shops lining the walls. There were Inns and Taverns much like the one he was staying at, and all different kinds of people were entering and exiting the stores.

"Violet snakes, freshly grilled, come get them while they're fresh off the fire!" An old woman calls from her stand. Killa's stomach growled, and he flushed a light shade of pink. Walking up to the stand, Killua ordered two snakes. "That would be 50 Yul." He paid her, and was just about to leave when something caught his eye. It was chocolate. Killua hadn't had chocolate since he came here, so the sight of those bars made him practically drool. "Oh ohohohoh, like chocolate do you?" The lady asked with a twinkle in her eye.

"Yes. Now shut up and take my money." Killua shoved 200 Yul into her hands and took every last piece of chocolate the lady was selling. He shoved it in his pocket, and left the booth.

Little did he know, the old woman was still watching, and she happened to take a liking to Killua, saying what 'an interesting young lad' he was. Killua approached a man on the road and asked where the Magic Knight Exams were taking place.

"The Exams are taking place in the colosseum, but you look a little young for the exams, how old are you?" He asks.

"13." Killua responds, before promptly walking away. The Exams aren't until tomorrow, but checking the test sight won't hurt. He thought. Turns out he wasn't the only one with this idea, and there were at least 20 other people. The colosseum was huge, and had a big overhang with nine chairs. Nine emblems underneath them too.

Those must be for the Magic Knight Captains. I wonder what the names of the squads are. Killua left to try to find out the stages of the exam, so that he could prepare, but no one knew what they were. It was like the Hunter exam, it changed every year.

Killua walks back through the city, looking for something to do. It was boring here according to Killua, back in his world there were underground fights going on all the time, but here it was so... peaceful. Killua hated it.

Peace was boring according to him, and as long as it wasn't a full blown out war enemies were good entertainment. Anyone of his friends back in York New would agree with him, so he thought his friends here would too. But he found that wasn't true as soon as he voiced his thoughts. Weird looks galore. Killua shrank away at the very thought. He hated attention. ...Unless it was from Gon. He loved getting it from him.

"YES!!! WERE FINALLY HERE YUNO. AREN'T YOU EXCITED?!" Great, just great. The annoying brat and Uni Bitch have arrived. Killua thought bitterly. In his eyes, no one was more annoying. How was he supposed to get into a squad without any magic?

Well, it wasn't Killua's problem so he didn't sweat it. Now, which Magic Knight Squad do I want to join? From what he had heard, the most popular group was the Golden Dawn, and the least popular was the Black Bulls. Since Killua hated attention, he decided to go for the Black Bulls. Killua didn't want to get mobbed by girls anymore that he already had to.

Killua swerved out of the way and covered his face. He didn't want to have to deal with them right now, so instead he headed back to the Inn. It was almost dinner, and he hadn't eaten since the violet snakes this morning. Oh my god, how could I forget! The Chocolate! Killua Exclaimed. He sprinted up the stairs, and unlocked his room. He slammed the door and ran to the kitchen.

Killua pulled the candy out of his pockets and laid them out on the counter. There were so many different kinds of chocolate he had never tried before! Killua licked his lips and started shoving the candy in his mouth. I. Am. In. Heaven! These chocolates were almost as good as the chocolate robots back in his world!

Killua happily munched on the chocolate until it was time for bed. He went to sleep that night, a very happy Hunter.
